2 weeks In, already lost 5 lbs, any tweaks?

[Windex]

I used GBrice's clean cutting diet as a model and I've been going strong for the past 11 days. The only problem I noticed is the frequency I've had to use the washroom. Is this due to the food I'm consuming or just my body adjusting? Also, any tweaking ??

Am I eating too many Carbs or Calories or Fats for my goal of cutting + reducing BF % + maintaing/gaining Lean Muscle Mass?

DISCLAIMER: I am allergic to the following foods:

- All Nuts
- All fish
- Sesame Seeds/Oil
- Flax Seeds/Oil
- Cottage Cheese (Huge intolerance, most other dairy seem to be fine)

I also was unfortunately diagnosed with Overreactive Bladder Syndrome, so don't recommend tea, as I can't drink it (nor coffe).

[Yeah I have a lot of limitations for foods, it sucks, just my genetic luck. People use to call me Mr.Glass]

Stats:

Age = 19
Weight = 187lbs +/- 2 lbs (Weigh myself in the morning only)
BF = ~18%
Height = 5"9.5

Goals:
- Reduce BodyFat to 9%
- "Ripped/Shredded" Physique
- Maintain and put on more muscle mass
- My visual motivation and end goal would be to look like a smaller version of Zyzz / Josef Rakich.

5lbs lost in 2 weeks is good numbers; how is your strength in the gym? How is your overall energy level? I would say don't change anything so long as you continue to make progress. If it ain't broke....

Washroom - you're most likely getting alot more fiber in your diet than you were before. I can tell you that i'm pretty vile myself; the people in my office hate me, because i'm like a walking talking rotten egg.

Overall energy level is great except. Aside from the first hour in the morning, I feel like I'm on speed 24/7 or something. The fibre comment makes sense, upon reflection I probably wasn't consuming enough before. Strength at the gym is great, I can feel myself getting stronger and executing the techniques a lot easier to.

With that, I wouldn't change a thing right now, but continue to monitor closely. You will eventually have to make changes for sure.

I would probably lower carbs in the diet, and I would have guessed a bigger "reported loss" the first week depending on what you have been eating. I seem to lose around 5 lbs when I start low-carb. And it seems to be happening to me on a weekly basis, but midterms are almost over, and spring break is on deck finally. SO hopefully soon I can stay on a more stable plan and diet.

I Had no idea that thread existed, I actually found out about all the "aesthetic" guys from simplyshredded interviews.

[charcold]

He looks good, no doubt.^ I wouldnt worry about using him asa goal.

Another thing I would "add" to the diet is make sure you eat stuff you like. I just switched from rice from sweet potatoes because quite frankly I dont like how my SP were tasting. They tasted like cardboard, lol. So until I have that fixed, I will take my brown rice

Thanks for the tip. I enjoy everything on my diet, but I have recently considering perhaps doing 1 less Scoop of Myofusion and +1 piece of chicken of equal Protein/Cal just to reduce my fat/carbs slightly without changing my calories, not sure though O_o.

I think we may be formally acquainted Windex.

Oh my, what do you mean? O_o.

[Damienm05]

Haha, nevermind! I had a conversation with a friend in real life today that lead me to believe it may be you. He asked me to look at a similar diet and then posted a link to that same queer looking shredded fellow as his ideal aesthetic physique, lmao.
